'Appropriation' (upātta) each comprises two meanings. First, regarding the two meanings of 'holding' (zhi): 1. the meaning of subsuming; 2. the meaning of sustaining. 'Subsuming' means subsuming \[them\] into its own substance. 'Sustaining' means sustaining \[them\] so that they do not disperse. Regarding the two meanings of 'experiencing' (shou): 1. the meaning of receiving; 2. the meaning of sensing. 'Receiving' means receiving \[them\] as an objective realm. 'Sensing' means causing the arising of sensory feeling, sharing wellbeing and peril together. The physical body endowed with sense faculties possesses all four meanings of appropriation: 1. subsuming it into its own substance, because it is equally of an indeterminate nature; 2. sustaining it so that it does not disperse, for the eighth \[consciousness\] can maintain this body so that it does not rot and decompose; 3. receiving it as an objective realm, for this physical body with sense faculties is the intimate nimittabhāga of the eighth \[consciousness\]; 4. causing sensory feeling to arise, sharing wellbeing and peril together, for if the eighth \[consciousness\] is imperilled, the five sense faculties are imperilled, and if the eighth \[consciousness\] is secure, the five sense faculties are secure. As for the receptacle world, it is merely conditioned, not appropriated; that is, within the two meanings of 'experiencing', it is received as an objective realm. Furthermore, that it is said to be 'not appropriated' means that it lacks the three meanings of being subsumed into its own substance, sustained so as not to disperse, and causing sensory feeling to arise. Because it is unlike the sense-facultied body of others, it is called 'not appropriated'; that is, it lacks experiencing, and among the four meanings it has only the single meaning of being received as an objective realm. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 49.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.2) - [Next: 49.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.4) - [Up: 49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.49.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.3) · Pramāṇa
